Creamed Spinach

Creamed Spinach

Serves 4 / Prep time: 10 minutes / Cook time: 30 minutes


Creamed vegetables, spinach in particular, have been around for several thousand years, although in the past several years, yogurt was often used in the sauce instead of heavy cream. 

The finished dish is comforting and perfect for large potluck events when you need to bring something to contribute. 

If you want to cut some of the calories from the recipe, swap out the heavy cream for evaporated milk, but keep in mind that also changes the keto macro.


INGREDIENTS :-

1 tablespoon butter

½ sweet onion, very thinly sliced

4 cups spinach, stemmed and thoroughly washed

¾ cup heavy (whipping) cream

¼ cup Herbed Chicken Stock (page 141)

Pinch sea salt

Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Pinch ground nutmeg


RECIPE :-

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter.

2. Sauté the onion until it is lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the spinach, heavy cream, chicken stock, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

4. Sauté until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.

5. Continue cooking the spinach until it is tender and the sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes.

6. Serve immediately.


PAIRS WELL WITH :-

Adding some color to your meal highlights the simple presentation of this traditional side dish. 

Look to Roasted Salmon with Avocado Salsa for some pizazz or a subtler Stuffed Chicken Breasts .
